Individual leases make off-campus housing more accessible to your family.
What Is an Individual Lease?
At Hub Tucson First, leases are offered by the bed, not by the full apartment. That means each resident signs for their own bedroom space and a monthly installment rather than taking responsibility for the entire unit.
Learn MoreHow This Works In Your Favor
Individual leasing can make off-campus housing easier for families to understand because each student has a separate lease responsibility. Your student is responsible for their assigned space and monthly installment, not a roommate’s portion.
This structure can also make budgeting more predictable. Families can plan around one student’s lease, one installment schedule, and one set of housing responsibilities. Students may live with friends or use roommate matching, while keeping financial obligations separate.
Our apartments near the University of Arizona come fully furnished, which can make move-in simpler for students and families.
What Families Should Plan For
Monthly installments vary by floor plan, bedroom type, lease term, and current availability. Families should review the specific rate for the apartment and the lease option their student is considering.
Current fees include a one-time application fee, a one-time administrative fee, a monthly trash flat fee, a monthly Conservice fee, and a monthly tech fee. Additional fees may apply.
Renter’s insurance is required if a student does not provide their own qualifying policy. Students may opt into the community-provided insurance for $13.95 per month.
Families should also plan for optional parking, groceries, toiletries, cleaning items, school supplies, transportation, dining out, personal purchases, and any selected upgrade package.

Shared Spaces & Resident Events
Living near the University of Arizona is not only about getting to class. It is also about helping students feel connected to the people and places around them.
At Hub Tucson First, residents can spend time in the clubroom, lounge areas, rooftop gathering spaces, and outdoor amenities. The community also hosts resident events throughout the year, which may include game nights, seasonal events, food pop-ups, DIY workshops, networking events, local brand collaborations, charity drives, and volunteering opportunities.
For students who are new to Tucson or still getting to know their roommates, these shared spaces and events can offer approachable ways to meet people and become more comfortable in the community.
More On Our CultureSpaces for Academic Focus
When your student needs a change of scenery from their bedroom, they can use private study rooms, group study rooms, an academic lounge, an executive business area with printers, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the community.
These spaces can be useful during midterms, finals, group projects, online meetings, or everyday coursework. For students who do not always want to walk to a campus building, having study areas close by can make daily academic planning easier.
Fitness, Wellness & Taking Breaks
Students have access to a 24/7 fitness center with weight and cardio equipment, a yoga room, and a dry sauna. These amenities give residents convenient ways to move, reset, or take a break between class, studying, and other commitments.
The rooftop sundeck, pool, hot tub, cabanas, outdoor lounge seating, and grill area also give students places to relax and spend time with friends or roommates close to their apartment.

Before Move-In
Because our apartments come fully furnished, students can focus on personal essentials and décor rather than purchasing and transporting large furniture.
Families should plan to bring bedding, towels, cookware, toiletries, cleaning supplies, school items, personal décor, and any small items that help the apartment feel familiar. Roommates should coordinate shared household items before move-in to avoid duplicates.
On Move-In Day
Once students arrive, they should walk through the apartment and confirm that the main items are in place, including furniture, appliances, keys, and bedroom assignments. If anything is missing, damaged, or not working as expected, they should contact the on-site team as soon as possible.
It usually helps to unpack essentials first, such as bedding, toiletries, chargers, school supplies, and basic kitchen items. The rest of the apartment can come together over the next few days.
Settling In
Small personal items can make a furnished apartment feel more familiar. Photos, favorite blankets, desk items, and simple décor can help students personalize their space without overpacking.
Students should also take time to learn the building early. Knowing where to find study rooms, fitness areas, the rooftop pool, parking, package areas, common spaces, and the leasing office can make the first week easier to navigate.
Location is an important factor for parents comparing apartments near the University of Arizona. Hub Tucson First is located at 1001 N. Park Ave., across the street from campus and close to several familiar U of A destinations.
Walking to Campus
Students are a 5-minute walk from the University of Arizona, making it easier to get to class, campus resources, and nearby destinations throughout the day.
They can also walk to places such as the Main Library, University of Arizona Bookstore, and Student Union Memorial Center. This proximity can be helpful for students who want to study on campus, attend events, meet friends, or stop back at their apartment between commitments without relying on a car.
Biking, Parking & Local Travel
Students who prefer bikes or scooters have access to bike storage. Reserved parking is also available in a multi-level garage for an additional monthly fee.
For trips beyond walking distance, students can use rideshare, personal vehicles, bikes, scooters, or local transportation options, depending on their schedule and destination. Families may want to talk through transportation plans for late nights, game days, internships, appointments, grocery trips, and campus activities.
Off-campus living is a chance for students to take more ownership of day-to-day responsibilities while parents and guardians remain available for guidance. Students should generally be the primary point of contact for routine housing matters, including payments, maintenance requests, lease questions, roommate communication, and community updates.
What Students Should Handle Directly
Students are expected to manage the everyday details that come with apartment living. This includes submitting maintenance requests, checking community messages, understanding payment dates, communicating with roommates, and asking lease-related questions before deadlines pass.
These responsibilities help students build confidence and learn how to manage housing details more independently.
How Parents Can Stay Involved
Parents can still play an important role without taking over each step. Families may want to review the lease together before signing, talk through monthly budgeting, track key dates, and discuss common apartment responsibilities before move-in.
It can also be helpful to agree in advance on when students should reach out to parents, how roommate concerns should be handled, and how often families will check in during the first few weeks.
